But in fairness to current Democrats, Obama may have made Florida really tough for awhile by normalizing our relationship with Cuba. To be entirely clear, this was an unmitigated good idea that took a lot of political courage and was well overdue. So no knock on Obama on this one at all.

But I know there was a lot of chatter at the time that Florida may stay red for awhile after that. If that's true, then I think that using the state as a point of comparison between his campaigns and future ones may be slightly unfair.

Sanders would have flopped in Florida anyhow. That stupid state is like a gross, humid bunker where retrograde ideas about socialism hide out in order to survive. Whatever traction our movement gets this fall, that's going to be one of the last places to catch on.
